Q:
How crowded is it on a normal Saturday or Sunday morning?
A:
Wasn't too bad. The roller coaster lines were 15 mins. You're rarely waiting longer than 20 mins for any particular ride

Small amusement park for littles between 0-12 I'd say.
Here's what they have going on in there:
A petting zoo
a train that goes around the entire park
3 roller coasters
a few baby friendly rides
a stage where they play music and all the littles can dance, dance, and dance some more to their hearts delight
Arcade
Body powered cars
A play area with trains and cars
Gift shop
Few food stands
Realllly good snacks lol
We had a ball when we came and I am already ready to come back.
Be sure to get the collectable frozen lemonade cups , they're so cuteeee

Recently my family (2 adults + 2 kids age 4 and 2) visited Adventure City for the first time and was pleasantly surprised at this amazing gem! Adventure City may be a small amusement park competing in a sea of amusement parks in the Anaheim neighborhood. It's not as grand nor early as crowded as Disneyland, but it definitely has its own charm and appeal, especially for little kids.
We also appreciated that there were enough food options available in the park. The restroom was clean and has stools for little kids. The park is not very big, so we were able to see everything we wanted to do in about four hours. The admission price was reasonable, and we got a small discount for buying online.
The park is divided into different "themed?" areas, but don't kid yourself. This is no Fantasyland of Disneyland. What it does have is everything you expect a park to have: indoor arcade, dancing arena, and various rides. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the park was clean and well-maintained. It's exactly what I expect from what I paid for: a functional park with rides that are fun for my 4 year olds while not feeling like I gotta spend 12 hours here to get my moneys worth.
Parking is free. The lines can get long in the afternoon. But there was really nothing that stood out as a glaring issue. I imagine older kids would get bored quite quickly at this place, but I could barely get my kids out of the park without bawling their eyes out. Adventure City was truly made for the toddlers.
Overall, we had a fun and memorable time at Adventure City and we would recommend it to anyone looking for a family-friendly and affordable alternative to Disneyland. It's a great place to spend a few hours and enjoy some rides and attractions without breaking the bank or waiting in long lines. Adventure City is truly the little theme park that's big on family fun!Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - 24111386Mar 14, 2024
we live super close to adventure city and we absolutely loved loved loved it. Basically if Disneyland is really packed you can totally go to adventure city and have a wonderful fun time with your family.
The kids seriously loved it and the lines were not that long it wasn't even crowded when we went and we got to do so many things.
The hours for the park depends on what day 10 AM till 6 PM or 10 AM till 7 PM!
what I love about this park is the parking is free. We don't have to pay like $35 for general parking like at Disneyland lol
General admission from ages 1 to 54 is $29.95! and thered a senior discount too!
the girls loooved the train ride!! actually they loved like all rides that they could ride on!! our fave fave was the dance bubble party!
I would totally recommend this Park if you have young kids like us they even have an arcade, which was so fun !!!
we went here for our daughters 3rd birthday and it was perfect!!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0 - Da'Nijah N.Inglewood, CA0424May 7, 2024
Was fun ! Rides are super
Kid friendly and your able to ride the rides with your child! Very small but your able to get though every ride as all the lines moved very quickly Easter time was fun and the extra scavenger hunt a was funHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 6355151641Jan 28, 2024
Totsapalooza! Amazing theme park for toddlers. The website recommends it for children between the ages of 2 and 12, but I found it to be more suitable for kids aged 2-8. My 4-year-old had an incredible time enjoying all the rides, which were mostly carnival-style attractions with two roller coasters that were just right for younger children. We particularly enjoyed the balloon racers ride and the train ride that circled the park once.
Parking is free and you can bring in your own food. I purchased a pretzel ($4) and some chocolate soft serve ice cream. They also have good available to purchase including pizza, burgers, and more.Helpful 33Thanks 9Love this 29Oh no 1 - Jan 16, 2024
The good:
I came with my two year old and we had a blast. It's the perfect toddler theme park and was much more worthwhile than going to Disneyland. We got to go on almost all of the rides by the time it hit noon. Barely any lines for any of the rides. There's also a free play area where my daughter got to build train tracks and play with puzzles. Parking is free! We had no trouble finding parking even when we left for lunch and came back. I enjoyed the goat petting area. You get to brush their fur with combs and also feed them. The area was very clean. I'd definitely like to come back again.
The bad;
The line for the ambulance and police ride was longest. We only saw one chicken but there seemed to be more of them in Meekah's YouTube video.
The interesting:
Blippi and Meekah did an episode here for YouTube. They feature it on the tv in the line while waiting for the police car ride. Adults can go on the rides with the kids but most rides allow only one adult per kid. My daughter went on her first roller coaster here.Helpful 5Thanks 1Love this 5Oh no 0 - Jan 6, 2024Updated review
Made another visit to Adventure City to celebrate a special someone's birthday.
With an accident in Oceanside, the drive up from San Diego was quite the adventure in itself!
I arrived at noon and walked to the ticket booth to get my tickets. Saved a few bucks rather than buying them online to avoid the convenience fee was actually convenient.
I didn't have to use the shuttle to get from the lot to the entrance because they aren't huge like Disneyland and don't have the need for one.
Parking was easy and free! (Score)
Walked through the park and it's few sections within a few minutes to plan our day. Keep in mind I had a double stroller which was easy to maneuver around the place since it wasn't crowded as it would have been in Disneyland.
Managed to visit and ride a few things within minutes including the carousel! No fast pass needed.
Grabbed an Icee, caramel apples and food (pizza, nachos and chips) to get the kids ready for a fun filled day. Again, no long lines.
Ended up at the petting zoo area and watched where boba came from lol - that's what I told my son. Ended up buying churros nearby.
Afterwards let them dance at Stage 39 and pretty much called it a day.
All in all, it was a good day.
For a family of four, we ate, drank, danced, played and rode for about 4 hours and spent less than $200 which included admission.
Was it worth it? Just look at the smiles on my kids faces... Priceless.Helpful 6Thanks 1Love this 4Oh no 1Jan 6, 2024Previous reviewFun fun fun!
Kids love this ride that jolts them back and forth.
No line and just the right amount of time.
Give it a try.Jan 6, 2022Previous reviewIf your children are too young to enjoy Disneyland, then Adventure City would be the next best option.
Tons of kiddie rides geared towards toddlers and several eateries it's a no brainer when entertaining the little ones.
Easy to get in and out of, free parking and a staff that are super friendly and welcoming- Adventure City should be added to your list do list at least once.
From the mini train, live music and mini Ferris wheel, you can't help but love the absolute value.
I'll be back for sure to unwind and let my little ones run around. - Jan 15, 2024
Great place for toddlers! This is a small amusement park with 10 or so of what I think of as carnival or fair rides. They do have 2 roller coasters- 1 smaller one that is jerky and the other one is a "rewind coaster" which is scarier than the name suggests. This place is for ages 2-12 according to their website but there are some rides that they can go on if they can sit up with an adult of course. Carousel is oniy 2 rows deep which I have never seen before. I prefer the carousel ride at the LA zoo to this one.
No characters or performances but they do have a "dance party" with bubbles at certain times.
Food is usual fast food for usual prices. Husband ordered a cheeseburger and fries, curly fries and onion rings and liked them. You can bring your own food, water, drinks without an issue. Lots of picnic tables but hard to find shade.
2 bathrooms with changing tables. And a mommy & me stall but no toilet paper. 1 by the dance floor and 1 by the drop zone.
Recommend a swings ride and a play area with a climbing structure for the littles.
Easy free parking. If parking is crowded, park will be also.Helpful 2Thanks 1Love this 2Oh no 0 - Nov 12, 2023
Adventure City is a small theme park with a big personality. This park is perfect for kids 2-6, but I recently revisited with my 8 yr old and he had a blast. We have been coming here since he was about 2 and he always loved just being able to ride things multiple times. It's part of the appeal. It's small enough to where kids can walk and run around and get tired without it being too exhausting for parents.
There is one restaurant to order food from with a variety of options, from salads to pizza.
There is also a Starbucks inside which is nice.
There are several stands for snacks etc around the carousel area as well.
They also have a small petting zoo area where you can feed the animals, and an arcade with plenty of games to choose from (note: these are not included with admission).
There is ample free parking.
I recommend this place to anyone with a toddler or preschool aged kids, they'll love it.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Beatriz P.Los Angeles, CA02May 17, 2024
